Lymph node on neck of 7 years daughter

One month back lymph node occured on neck. After normal medication from physician for 15 days got the FNAC done from two hospitals. One lab suggested zn stain for afb negative while mantoux positive and other one shows zn stain for afb positive while mantoux negative. Ultrasound of neck shows multiple lymph nodes. Chest and spinal x ray are clear. Second lab diagnosis granulomatous lymphadenitis consistent with tb. No weight loss, fever, or any other kind of issue present except some pain in mid of backbone. Confused whether should go for TB treatment or should refer to some other doctor. Both above doctors are peadratics. Please suggest
